UNSEEN Poster Art & Trailer Exclusive First Look
In Unseen, best friends come across a legitimate-looking modeling contest on social media, only to be tricked into a dangerous scam. One of the girls goes to meet with the contest-runners in hopes of earning money for her family, only to go missing. Tragically, it is a story that happens every day and the filmmakers hope to bring attention to the issue. Rhyon Nicole Brown and Isabella Blake-Thomas star. The filmmakers have released the poster and trailer for the film, and Film Inquiry is pleased to debut them exclusively.
According to the official synopsis:
Inspired by true events in Utah, “Unseen” is about a teenage girl’s innocent social media mistake. Carly, 17, like most teenagers, wants to have her own money, be seen at parties, get out of her small town and find something better, even become famous. Carly’s way out of her current situation comes in the form of a social media advert that she sees on her phone. An agency looking for models and offering them a prize of $1000. Due to some everyday white lies, Carly puts herself in an unsafe position. Carly’s lies lead to her being unseen, never to be seen again. The next day when family and friends realize that no-one knows Carly’s whereabouts, it’s too late. This is “fame lure” and can happen to any child, anywhere at anytime.
Rhyon Nicole Brown is becoming known in the entertainment industry as a triple threat; bringing complex, powerful characters to life on screen while also writing, recording, and performing her own original music. Brown is best known as a series regular on the hit drama series Empire. She stars alongside Oscar-Award winner Gary Oldman in the crime-action feature Killers Anonymous.
A British star based in LA, Isabella Blake-Thomas has just completed shooting the latest Disney Plus Film Secret Society Of Second Born Royals. She is best known for her role in ABCs Once Upon a Time as young Zelena. She is not only an actress, but also a writer and producer and will be producing the feature film Millie and Me later this year with her production company Mother & Daughter Entertainment.
Unseen is directed by Elizabeth Blake-Thomas and will have its World Premiere in Los Angeles on September 6, 2019, and an Oscar Qualifying run for a week theatrically starting that date.
